Public safety officials said a few areas still remain without power after falling trees and tree limbs pulled down wires and contributed to outages in several areas on Sunday.

Residents also reported power outages in Boxborough, but information was not immediately available.

As of Monday morning, Acton Police Chief Francis Widmayer said some residents remained without power on Magnolia Drive and Hawthorne Drive, which Widmayer said also remain blocked. Iris Court was also still out of power, and scattered homes around town were as well.

Widmayer said high winds caused much of the tree and limb falls, starting Sunday about 11 a.m. and continuing through the night.

As trees are removed, Nstar, a major power provider in town, is servicing the areas still without power. Widmayer said he expected power to be restored soon.

Widmayer reported that the following areas had been affected on Sunday.
